The response has been tremendous: audiences are brought to their feet, transported by Jonna's humor and tenderness.

The Story

A sassy receptionist sits at a busy switchboard, fielding calls from irate tenants, covering for an absent boss, and trying to fend off two nasty killers who are determined to move in.

Sound like the office building from hell? It's not. It's "Jonna's Body, please hold," the emotionally riveting, outrageously funny chronicle of the battle at Hotel Jonna.

With courage, honesty, and humor "Jonna's Body, please hold" takes you on an incredible journey. There's Baby Toe, squeezed into a too-tight pump; Upper Back, contorted and threatening to strike if she doesn't get some rest; Uta and Ula, the bumbling Breasts, begging to be released from their brassiere imprisonment; and many others. Their tranquil, if sometimes neglected, existence is threatened when the sinister Venice and thuggish Walter decide to make Jonna's Body their personal party suite.

As the battle rages, the characters must rally, and Jonna finds she has the greatest ally in the world, the strength and will of her own body.
